Why is PropertyGuru discontinuing Spotlight?
We have heard your feedback on the importance of marketing efficiency as well as the value of listing exposure and we are continuously working towards making your listings work effectively for you.
We hope to focus on refining and building new products that will bring greater value to you. In the recent months, we have introduced enhanced products such as Turbo and Featured Agent, which includes the benefits of Spotlight while increasing your listing exposure at the same time.
Why is PropertyGuru discontinuing Spotlight only on PropertyGuru.com.sg and not on CommercialGuru.com.sg?
Turbo was introduced in Aug 2021 for PropertyGuru.com.sg, with agents having a longer time to try it out and have benefitted from its advantages on their residential listings.
Turbo was only recently introduced for CommercialGuru.com.sg in Jan 2022, and we hope to keep a varied selection of listing types from Turbo to Spotlight, so that agents will be able to seek and evaluate what works best for their commercial listings.
Can I still activate Spotlight after 21 Mar 2022, 15:00hrs SGT?
No. You will not be allowed to activate any Spotlight bookings. The Spotlight button will be disabled for all listings that do not have an active Spotlight booking.
For listings with an active Spotlight booking, your tab will remain active in blue till the booking completion date. However, upon clicking through, the Switch to Auto-Spotlight button will be disabled.
What will happen to my Auto-Spotlight; will it renew itself after 21 Mar 2022, 15:00hrs SGT?
